Zappen Leads Hawks to Second Shutout Win (Mentors)
Nov. 22, 2009

Amy Zappen trains with GCG Consultant Brian Daccord.

HENNIKER, MASS. - The Saint Anselm women's ice hockey team concluded their first road trip of the season this evening, as they took on the New England College Pilgrims in an ECAC East league game.  Assistant captain Kristen Byrne (Duxbury, Mass.) scored the game-winning goal to propel the Hawks to a 1-0 victory over the Pilgrims.  The win lifts the Hawks to 3-1 (3-1 ECAC) while the Pilgrims fall to 4-2 (3-2 ECAC).

The defense on both sides seemed impenetrable, holding off every offensive charge of the game, until, at 18:30 in the third period, with just a minute and a half remaining in the game, freshmen Kathryn Picarello (West Roxbury, Mass.) and Corinne Myers (San Jose, Calif.) set up junior Kristen Byrne, who finally found a way past Pilgrim goaltender Teraysa White (Belgrade, Maine) to score the only goal of the game and give the Hawks a 1-0 victory.

White made 22 saves in the game, but the Pilgrims could not get anything past sophomore Amy Zappen (Huntington Beach, Calif.), who completed her second shutout in two starts this season.  Zappen, who made 24 saves in the game, is the only goalie in the ECAC East who has played at least one game this season and has yet to cede a goal.
